ATI Radeon HD 4850 and 4870: RV770 Has Arrived @ HotHardware.com

[news 28]

Hello All,

 

 

 

Last week, due to some unexpected circumstances, we were able to post a

sneak peek of the RV770 GPU and ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. As our

limited testing showed, the Radeon HD 4850 was quite promising for a $199

graphics card. But we weren't able to tell the complete story. While the

initial benchmarks definitely looked good, there was a lot more to talk

about in regard to the Radeon HD 4850 and the RV770 GPU at the heart of the

card.

 

 

 

Today we can finally spill the rest of the beans. You see, AMD didn't plan

to officially announce just one new Radeon HD 4800 series card this week,

but two, with a dash of information about a third thrown in for good

measure. Today marks the official arrival of not only the Radeon HD 4850,

but the higher-end Radeon HD 4870 as well. As we've already explained, one

card - the Radeon HD 4850 - is targeted at the sub-$200 price point. The

other, however, is a $299 screamer that makes use of some cutting edge

technology, like GDDR5 memory. Come on by the site and check them out...
